🔴 For today then, take a sec to reset. Stop scrolling for a minute.

☺️ Relax your jaw.

🌎 World Mental Health Day is an invitation for people everywhere to turn inward for a moment.

🧡 At Brightline, we are responding to that invitation with a resounding yes, please. Which is why all of our employees have World Mental Health Day off — so they can use those hours in whatever way is meaningful to them.

🐶 If you’re reading this, we hope you tune in to what your mind and body need today. Maybe you reconnect with a friend. Bake pumpkin-flavored things. Play basketball. Find a new dog park. Stay in pajamas all day.

🧠 Every day is a great day to take good care of your mental health. The healthier you are, the more you can be there for your kids, teens, partners, family, friends, and pets.

🙏 Think of it this way: self-care isn’t selfish. Getting centered and finding support when you need it is actually a generous act — one that positively impacts yourself and the people you love.

⚽ Say your 4th grade child is struggling at soccer practice. They can’t connect with the ball, keep lifting their back foot on the throw in, and are refusing to play goalie.

1️⃣ In scenario one:

🧡 You offer to help and they burst into tears because “you think they’re uncoordinated.”

🧡 They pick a fight with a teammate.

🧡 Then they tell you they’re quitting the team because they’re no good and done trying.

What turns this scenario around? Emotional intelligence.

When everyone is calm, start talking through challenges with your child. Help them name their emotions and understand they don’t have to let their high emotion decide which way the hard moments will go — they can feel heated and still keep their cool in how they act. When you prioritize effort over outcome, it releases pressure, and your child’s ability to manage their emotional reaction to situations improves.

2️⃣ In scenario two:

😄 They take you up on your offer to practice (and if it doesn’t go well, they ask their coach for help).

😄 They celebrate and encourage their teammates.

😄 And they keep playing — they understand they’re learning new physical skills at their own rate and contributing to the team with their positive attitude.

🫵 You can help your child build their emotional intelligence in small ways every day! Teach them to embrace progress over perfection. Praise them for their ability to show up and try. Encourage them to add “yet” to the end of an “I can’t” statement to develop a growth mindset. And model empathy, both towards yourself and others.

🎉 Our new clinic in Columbus Circle is open!

Since we launched our business in 2019, we’ve watched the demand for accessible, high-quality pediatric mental health support continue to rise.

We’re so proud to have opened our first New York clinic in Brooklyn Heights this past April. Last month, our new clinic in Lake Success started seeing families. Today, we’re excited to announce the opening of our third clinic in Manhattan.

With our in-person, online, and in-network services, we meet families in a flexible way that meets their unique needs. From therapy, to psychiatry services, to psychological testing, we’re helping more and more kids, teens, and parents in New York every day.

And, this is just the beginning.

🌎 Our clinical leadership team brings diverse experience and perspectives that inform and guide the important work we’re doing at Brightline.

🧡 While their stories are unique to them, our collective goals are the same — to change the lives of kids, teens, and families.

👉 Nikhil Nadkarni, MD shares in his own words below his “why” for being at Brightline:

I’ve been at Brightline for a few months now, and I’ve been reflecting on why I joined.

In my role as Chief Medical Officer, my "why" is deeply rooted in a commitment to merging technology and innovation with compassionate mental health care.

I am passionate about expanding access to high-quality mental health services for those who have traditionally been underserved.

I’m dedicated to sharing the insights I’ve gained as a psychiatrist on a larger scale, all while working in an ethical, forward-thinking environment that prioritizes both patient outcomes and clinician wellness.

Ultimately, I’m here because I believe in the power of working alongside brilliant, motivated colleagues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in mental health care and to make a lasting, positive difference.

I work every day to change the lives of kids, teens, and families. Working at Brightline just might change your life, too.

🥪 Sometimes even your go-to solutions — like a hug, a pep talk, and a sandwich with the crusts cut off — still aren’t enough to bring your child out of their funky mood.

🎪 Who knew parenting would require circus act-level skills? There are so many things to manage — schedules and meals and laundry are just a few of the million balls you keep in the air.

🪩 Some (like the above) are pretty durable. Others are fragile and can’t be dropped. Those more precious priorities are your child’s emotional well-being, their physical safety, and your own health.

⚽ Others will just bounce around if you drop them, and they can be tossed back up again when you’re ready. (For example, when you’re already running late, breakfast doesn’t have to be Pinterest-worthy. Neither does snack, or lunch, or dinner.)

😔 We know that most parents are only as happy as their least happy child. We also know that when you’re running on an empty emotional tank, nobody wins.

🌟 Focus on the glass balls and let a couple of the others go for now. Better yet, toss one to your partner, a friend, or a family member. Remember, it takes a village to juggle it all.

👉 World Mental Health Day is this Friday on 10/10. But every day is a great day to let yourself relax a little bit.

😡 Tantrums are a typical part of a child’s development. And while the meltdowns aren’t your fault, they are often yours to handle.

🙏 So how do you stay calm when faced with your small, angry human — especially when you’re already frazzled, stressed, or rushed?

😮‍💨 Breathe deep. When you stay centered, your child feels less out of control.

🧡 Acknowledge them. “I can see you’re feeling really frustrated” or “I know you’re disappointed” or “Can I show you something that might help”

🌊 Notice the wave. Feelings rise and fall. As your child calms down, help them notice their ability to ride the wave of their big emotions. At the same time, if your instincts tell you to solve the problem for them to make the situation easier, hold that thought for a moment. When young kids learn how to handle big emotions themselves, they’re building self-awareness, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Sometimes you can help, sometimes the tide needs to turn through experience.

🎢 Staying off the roller coaster helps you hold onto perspective during a tantrum. When you self-regulate instead of letting your emotions rise to meet those of your child, it creates space for you to watch, keep them safe, and offer comfort.

🧡 While their stories are unique to them, our collective goals are the same — to change the lives of kids, teens, and families.

👉 Kendra shares in her own words below her “why” for being at Brightline:

I recently hit my three-year mark at Brightline, and I’ve been reflecting on why I joined way back when.

There are several reasons that both compelled me to join and continue to propel the work that we do here.

I am dedicated to expanding access to care for kids and teens. And not just any care — care that works. In my professional life, I've seen too many families struggle to gain access to care. I’ve also met families who were spinning their wheels in care that wasn't helping. While I was happy to help them find relief, I also felt frustrated that they had to wait so long and spend their resources on something that didn’t help them.

I want to be part of a movement that helps families sort through all of the information out there in a way that allows them to better understand evidence-based mental health care — so they can understand what to look for, what to notice, and how to find help when needed.

I work every day to change the lives of kids, teens, and families. Working at Brightline just might change your life, too.

😮‍💨 You’re not the only parent who (sometimes) feels stressed and stuck.

💗 As a parent, the mental load is a heavy one to carry.

🧦 Especially when, at any given moment, you might also find yourself trying to hold one small shoe, the dog’s leash, two school forms, three goldfish crackers, a dirty sock, a half-eaten banana, and your phone (which is somehow already at 7%).

🐙 You’re sticky. You’re an octopus. And you need a break. So take one.

🙏 Get centered. Build your village. Ask for help

🙉 How many parents out there are victims of their own (vicious) inner voice?

😞 You know the one.

💬 It whispers in your ear after you lose your temper with your child.

👿 It berates you when you’re late for school pickup.

😓 It shames you when the bake sale cupcakes burn, when you can’t get the baby to sleep, when your teenager slams the door in your face.

😭 It lies when it says, “you’re doing it wrong” and “you’re ruining everything.”

🧡 While gut instincts are pretty reliable, we’re here to tell you that your inner voice isn’t.

🫶 You’re doing your best — and for the record, nobody is asking for perfection.

👉 World Mental Health Day is almost here. But every day is a great day to talk to yourself like you would your best friend.

🤩 High schoolers are trying to fit in, stand out, remember everything, and be present while thinking of the (increasingly imminent) future.

🐣 And while teenagers seem more and more grown up these days, they’re still just kids trying to find their way.

🤗 Here are three ways you can check in, decode behaviors, and support your child as the year progresses.

🧡 Make teachers and school counselors your partner
Your teenager is at the age where they are more independent, but they still need a safety net. The more aligned you are with school staff, the more you know how to support your teenager.

🧡 Reduce overwhelm and encourage being present
Observe mood patterns, how much time they’re spending alone, and whether social media is a boost or burden. Help them find balance, unplugged time, and rest.

🧡 Be their safe space and offer support
Teenagers are discovering who they are, what they believe, and where they belong. Make your home a comfort zone. Talk openly to catch and consider unhelpful patterns.

✨

If you’re worried your child or teen is struggling, don’t wait to talk about it.

If you can’t find the words, find the support you need.

Your child matters. Brightline is here to help.

✨

If you are concerned your child might hurt themselves or someone else, call or text 988, call 911, or take them to the nearest emergency room.
